Jimski:
Hi Dispatcher I ain’t got a clue but my telepathic thoughts are telling me some where near the old Hockley lights , but then again its my telepathic thoughts that never pick the right lottery numbers! :unamused:
Dispatcher… Hhhmm do I know you■■?

Regards Jimski

Sorry Jim your telepathic thoughts are quite wrong

Here is another pic for you to ponder over.

Is that an old Austin/morris 1100 or the bigger landcrab Maxi?

Regards Pat

Hi Pat,

Like the pic at Swalecliffe, looks more like being weekended in Italy :smiley:

I hope Sue is ok, and she enjoyed the weekend

Looks like an Austin/Morris 1100 in the Hills pic, when Dispatcher said Jim had been there, I thought it was the entrance to Winchester Prison :unamused: :unamused:

Regards

Richard

Dunno where it is Pat, but 3 out of the four blokes there want sacking, there’s 2 with their hands in their pockets, 1 leaning on a broom with a ■■■ hanging out his mouth, and only 1 doing any work… :cry: That chap on the far left looks like a young Chris Hill…still, no excuse, just cause you’re the bosses son, sack 'im as well !!!..no wonder the haulage industry’s in the states it’s in… :unamused:

afternoon all :smiley:
when and what time is the get together :frowning: i am taxi service with an andover to upham run all from brighton reckon i could get a back load on this run :smiley: cheers lads and lasses :astonished: :laughing:

I would suggest about ten am.Then you can stand at the bar and buy all the old decrepit pensioners a drink as they come in.Well,the idea sounds good to me! If you want a back load then I know of at least five of us us who would take advantage of your services.Drop offs ranging from Alton Petersfield Fareham and two on the IOW.Getting paid might be a different matter.We are all expert at jumping out and legging it!
Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Hi Ian,

Don’t forget to put West Wellow in the satnav as well !! if you can’t get to Alton we’ll hold on to Charlie for a couple of days :unamused:

Hi Jim and John yes you are quite right it was Paddy Keoghan and yes he used to ride in sandals with no socks but one day some hard shelled insect got jammed in between his toes !!!

Here he is still looking quite well for 70!!

And yes he said he will try to make the reunion in August

Hi All
It is with great sorrow and family regret that George Maidment went to drive his F88 & tractor in the sky.
